Well, I have to say that Harmonoid is the best one I’ve found, it has a ton of cool features, it works and it allows you to be able to see your collection by album and it doesn’t use Electron. Right now its development has stalled a bit but it’s still pretty much in good shape, though.
Have you tried Strawberry? It’s the best one out there, imo.
Need to make the switch, still using clementine, I like the Visualizations Clementine has that are missing in Strawberry.
For Viz I like projectM (clone of the old MilkDrop), available through Steam.
I want to like Strawberry as a way to connect to Subsonic server on Linux, but it’s just so clunky. I hate list view, as well as the theme…
Which theme? If you configure it right it should match the system theme. Here’s what mine looks like on Plasma 5, Breeze Dark.
Have you tried Sublime Music (GTK)? I used other (Electron) alternatives but Electron sucks, Sublime Music feels pretty fast.
I have and it’s great but I use KDE so I prefer a QT-based player
Thanks OP, this type of posts is honestly the only thing I can say that I miss from Reddit, I hope people keep making posts like this here.
I’ve been using PlexAmp for a long time, but I’ve had a lifetime subscription to Plex for several years now. They have versions for Linux and a headless version you can run on a Raspberry Pi (this one still requires PlexPass).
Jellyfin for FOSS, plex fork
I haven’t heard of harmonoid but will for sure be trying this out! It looks great
Reminds me of MusicBee, good ol’ days.
It’s the only thing I’m actually missing after my switch to Linux.
Music playback and organization, file conversion, replay gain and exporting to USB devices all in a single program with a highly customizable UI on top. So far I haven’t found anything that comes even close to replacing all that. Too bad it isn’t open source.
I like Tauon Music Box.
Python based. Relatively easy to compile. It’s also on flathub.
Looks nice, a little bit basic though. I’m still using Foobar2000 for my local files, haven’t found anything better even though I’ve looked.
I thought Foobar was windows only?
Yes, Harmonoid is also on Windows, hence why I commented.
Harmonoid is Linux native, not wine.
kid named wine
I still miss armarok 1.4.10
Is Amarok still a thing? I stopped using players a few years back in favour of Spotify, but I’m considering self hosting a collection again, and I remember Amarok being the best player by far.
Looks gorgeous. Unfortunate that Subsonic is under “likely impossible” features, but I will try this on my home PC at least.
Embrace tradition, return to XMMS
“It really kicks the llama’s ass” (on Linux)
…or it once did, pity it isn’t really available anymore.QMMP is the spiritual successor of the project, and supports Winamp skins.
I always defaulted to VLC, though I’ve recently gone and looked at Audacious.
I like Audacious. It does everything I need it to do and doesn’t have an oversized webesque GUI.
Harmoniod looks nice but I think the GUI would annoy me (pretty as it is). I might try it out though.
Really pretty! Honestly such good Ux. Love the player at the bottom.
I just want winamp in working order.
Audacious has a winamp mode and supports winamp skins.
QMMP supports Winamp skins, that’s what I’m using, it’s fantastic.
Haha currently I use VLC beta from the Ubuntu PPA, ran through Distrobox as I am on Fedora and they dont seem to damn care about RPMs. Also no beta Flatpak, even though this beta is sooo good, new UI and flac fixes.
Firefox (for Invidious)
